Chulla 4,946 Posted March 15, 2015 Report Share Posted March 15, 2015 I like Humphrey Bogart and Ingrid Bergman, and I liked. Casablanca. But I never rated it as a great film. For some reason the film has attained cult status, which I do not think it deserves. If you read about the making the film it was very hit and miss, with script writes on set, and no-one very happy with the way it was going. I think it was the love triange aspect of the film that people like. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
benjamin1945 16,246 Posted March 16, 2015 Report Share Posted March 16, 2015 Just finished reading Peter Bowles book 'ask me if i'm happy' a decent book with its obvious Nottingham connection as he grew up in Hyson Green and Highbury Vale,.........anyway what i found interesting was that he auditioned for a part in 'Saturday night and Sunday morning' and was turned down because of his then 'Nottingham accent'..............the chap taking the Auditions told him.....'you would be the only one with a Nottingham accent' in the film.

Jill Sparrow 10,352 Posted May 6 Report Share Posted May 6 My father was a Humphrey Bogart fan. Personally, I didn't think he could act his way out of a paper bag. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Willow wilson 897 Posted May 7 Report Share Posted May 7 Favourite movie, Leonard Bernstein's 1961 release of "West Side Story". I saw it whilst on holiday in Torquay in about '62. I think it's been rewritten and re released but I much prefer the 1961 Bernstein musical, (10 Oscas). The Sharks and the Jets, big film sets, lots of movement, and songs, "I Like to be in America".

Probably more than know his actual words were “Sam, I thought I told you never to play-...” Followed by “You played it for her, you can play it for me!” 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Cliff Ton 10,503 Posted May 9 Report Share Posted May 9 And to pass the time for half an hour I sometimes go to Youtube and search 'Pathe'. You get lots of clips of Britain in the 50s-60s. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
